Taste Of Lakewood Returns June 10

LAKEWOOD, OH — The Taste of Lakewood will return June 10 to the city. The day-long, admission free festival has become a regional staple and is a key thread in the fabric of Lakewood.

Taste of Lakewood will be held in Madison Park from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. About 30 Lakewood restaurants will have booths at the event — including Forage Public House, Angelo's Pizza, El Carnicero, Barrio, Melt Bar and Grilled, Georgetown and Woodstock BBQ.

New restaurants in the city will also have a "coming out" party at the event. New vendors include Addicted Coffee and Ice Cream, Sweet Amelia, SmoQued CLE, and Goodkind Coffee. They will all be selling their foods while music plays in the park.

The FireSide Band and JellzNJamz will be performing on the First Federal Lakewood Stage. Kids will be able to plant a tomato plant in the Good Food Kids garden tent. There will also be a dog cafe, a "Roo and You" photo booth sponsored by University of Akron, and the Cleveland Monsters hockey team will be on-hand.

For $1, attendees can vote on their favorite vendor at the Taste of Lakewood. Participants will also get a temporary tattoo.

Once again, there will be VIP tickets, for $50, which will guarantee tent seating and parking at the event. Additionally, servers will bring food directly to your table, there will be access to a VIP bar, two drink tokens, and there will be a VIP-only raffle to win a complete dinner for 10 at Pier W.

A portion of the event proceeds will go to the Lakewood Chamber of Commerce's scholarship fund, which assists college-bound seniors at both Lakewood High and St. Edward High.
